"Since the late 1990’s, I’ve taken a lot of jobs. When you’re looking for work, looking for work, looking for work, and you’re getting older, you get to a certain age, you are discriminated. Not because you’re female or a minority, because you’re too old. It happens around 50-55. They’re not supposed to do that, but they do. So that’s very difficult for me. I found myself just barely hanging on, 10 dollar an hour jobs, and finally, I didn’t have a job. And I became homeless.”
